-''Currently we are soliciting feedback from the Boost community on a preference for the license type.''
+Feedback from the Boost community suggests that the the consensus is:
+ * There is no strong preference to ensure the SVG icons are licensed under the Boost Software License (BSL), http://tinyurl.com/2xood5
+ * The icons currently in use (the default DocBook icons) are licensed under a modified MIT/X Consortium license, DocBook FAQ http://tinyurl.com/3xux36
+ * Any SVG icons we use should be licensed under an open source license that is compatible with the BSL
 
-To assist with setting the expectations for this project (ie, whether to use existing icons under an open-source license or to create the icons and license them under the Boost Software License, http://tinyurl.com/2xood5) I have sent an email to the boost-developers and boost-docs mailing lists seeking feedback on the license type.
+The above points have been extracted from two threads the first from the Boost-Docs list (Archive http://tinyurl.com/28ujla) and the second from the Boost-Dev list (Archive http://tinyurl.com/38l66e).
